Last year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s effort was done utilizing Heart Rate, and this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s using Power.<br \/>\n  In 2014, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been particularly consistent in my \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctraining\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and ride time. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve only been off the bike once for more than 2 days in a row and even then it was as a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcrecovery week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 effort to get some rest in.
